Questions have arisen among
graduate students over the rollout
of the Affordable Care Act.
The Graduate and Professional
Student Council hosted an
information forum Wednesday
evening in the Student Union
Memorial Center with several
administrators in an attempt
to address concerns about the
status of students’ health care
coverage.
The panel, which included
Andrew Carnie, dean of the
Graduate College, and Dr. Harry
McDermott, executive director
of Campus Health Service,
fielded questions from a room
full of graduate students about
what effects the Affordable Care
Act will have on UA-provided
insurance, whether or not it will
cover international students
when they are out of country
and more.
The employer mandate of the
Affordable Care Act requires any
employers with more than 50
employees provide their full-time
employees with health coverage.
It will take effect in January 2015,
and the UA is already working to
comply with the law, according
to Helena Rodrigues, director of
Human Resources Strategy and
Planning.
“If you look like a full-time
employee, as far as the federal
government is concerned,
you need to have the same
benefits package as I have,”
Rodrigues said.
Much of the concern among
graduate students surrounds
whether or not they will still be
considered part-time employees,
according to Zachary Brooks,
president of GPSC and a
second languages acquisition
graduate
student.
Current
graduate students will have to be
considered full-time employees
if they work more than 30 hours
a week, which has some major
implications.
“The thing that could be a
problem for some graduate
students is that if they got over
to full-time status, they wouldn’t
be students anymore and they

SCIENCE
Arizona
BY MARK ARMAO
The Daily Wildcat
Despite the warm weather and
clear skies that have graced Tucson
over the past few weeks, an invisible
artifact of winter still lingers in the
air: the flu.
But this year, along with the
more mundane strains of the virus,
a growing number of patients in
Arizona are being infected by a
type of influenza known as H1N1.
Commonly referred to as “swine
flu,” the strain was the culprit of a
pandemic that sent scores of people
to hospitals across the globe in 2009.
While most flu strains tend to
hospitalize only the very young and
the very old, H1N1 breaks the mold,
sending even seemingly healthy
young adults to urgent care.
“H1N1 is no more or less
contagious than the other types
of influenza,” said Dr. Sean Elliott,
medical director of infection
prevention for the UA Health
Network . “But this particular strain
seems to infect and cause disease
in [young adults], and that means
college-age students.”
There have been 15 UA student
cases of influenza this month, 14
of which were type A, the same flu
category that H1N1 falls under, said
Director of Campus Health David
Salafsky . Although it is likely that at
least a few of the 14 type A cases are
H1N1, no tests were conducted to
confirm the exact number, he said.

New major something to tweet about
BY Marissa Mezzatesta
The Daily Wildcat
The School of Information Resources and
Library Science is preparing students for life
and work in the digital age.
eSociety is a program that was launched
by SIRLS last fall. This program gives
students the option to pursue either a
Bachelor of Arts degree or an undergraduate
minor in the field.
“eSociety is a term that simply refers to
the idea that everything we do in society is
often based in digital communication,” said
Catherine Brooks, director of undergraduate
studies for SIRLS. “It’s a relevant degree
program for today’s digital age … and
students are enthusiastic about it.”
Over the past semester, there has been an
increased interest in the eSociety program,
according to Ricky Salazar, administration
and recruitment manager for SIRLS. The
program started with about six students
pursuing it as a major and five students
pursuing it as a minors, and has since grown
to about 22 majors and 20 minors, according
to Salazar.
“Over one semester, it’s quadrupled,
essentially,” Salazar said. “We are getting
students from all disciplines. … The
curriculum is so diverse.”
Students in the program are studying a
wide breadth of subjects, such as computer
sciences and data analysis. Other areas
include information management, online
collaborative work and social media use,
along with management across the health,
education, business and civic sectors.
“We felt that it would be important to
offer an undergraduate degree in the social
dimensions of the Digital Age,” said J.P.
Jones III, dean of the College of Social and
Behavioral Sciences. “Every dimension of
our lives [is] being constantly transformed
through the growth of digital information.”
In addition to business, the eSociety

program is also designed to teach and
prepare students for work in social media
production, marketing, big data analysis and
consulting with governmental and nonprofit
organizations, according to Salazar.
Salazar, Brooks and others in SIRLS
organized an employer roundtable with
about eight organizations from Tucson,
Phoenix and Scottsdale, Salazar said.
“They were inspired by the curricula and
skill set that our students will be well-trained
in,” Salazar said. “We have taken the steps to
set up internships and capstones with many
of these organizations.”
This hybrid technical and social science
degree has captured the attention of future
employers, and has sparked their interest

UA cycling club gears up for
seventh annual road race
BY Madison Brodsky
The Daily Wildcat
The UA Cycling Club is hosting its
seventh annual criterium race on
Oracle Road this weekend.
The weekend of racing begins on
Saturday, with a half-mile track for
beginners and a longer track for more
advanced cyclists. Sunday will feature
different types of road race events
such as hill climbing, individual time
trials, and team trials, where four
people work together for the fastest
time against other schools.
Most of the bikers that started off in
the club last year were either casual
or beginning bikers, said Joey Iuliano,
a planning graduate student. Iuliano
said he accidentally discovered his
passion for cycling while sitting on the
couch watching the Tour de France;
he immediately began saving money
to purchase an expensive competition
bike to replace his old one.
Iuliano, who is now vice president
of the UA Cycling Club, started the
annual race on Oracle Road, which
he compares to a NASCAR event on
bicycles. Iuliano said his inspiration
for the race was the realization that

The Daily Wildcat is an independent student newspaper
published Monday through Friday during the fall and
spring semesters at the University of Arizona. It is
distributed on campus and throughout Tucson with a
circulation of 10,000. The function of the Daily Wildcat is
to disseminate news to the community and to encourage
an exchange of ideas. The Daily Wildcat was founded
under a different name in 1899.

relationships
with
the
college
students,
providing and receiving constructive criticism on
assignments. High school students get a taste of the
college experience by coming to campus on a series
of field trips throughout the semester to meet with
their college mentors face to face.
“That relationship with somebody who has been
through the first year [of college] can help with
retention, the transition and feeling successful,”
Shumake said.
Wendler said the program could also address
racial inequalities.
“The number of people in Arizona who are Latino
is pretty high, and then if you look at the number at
UA, it’s very low,” Wendler said. “So there’s some
kind of inequity happening there, that students
don’t have access to college education, and we see
that as a huge problem.”
Wendler added that the UA is a land grant
institution, meaning that it was originally founded
to serve the local community.
“We see it as part of our mission and identity
to work to connect with the community and be a
force for justice when there’s these inequalities
happening and people don’t have access to higher
education,” Wendler said.
Wildcat Writers is mainly funded by the UA
Writing Program but occasionally receives small
grants such as the Gaining Early Awareness and
Readiness for Undergraduate Programs grant,
which helps keeps the program afloat, Wendler
added.
Jennifer Evans, a physiology junior, participated
in Wildcat Writers for two semesters and said the
most rewarding part of the program was helping
students grow from high school writers into college
writers.
“We showed them what the bar is for writing in
college, and I think that’s really helpful so that they
can converse at a higher level and know what to
expect in college writing,” Evans said. “It was really
cool to see how they would take your criticism to
heart to be able to go further.”
The benefits of the mentorship extend to the
college students, giving them a larger audience of
peers to share their work with, and makes the class
more exciting and hands-on, Shumake said.
“It makes the requirement more exciting: Great
student engagement, a way to get involved and meet
people in Tucson and learn about the community,”
Shumake said. “It’s more about relationships,
[rather] than only ideas.”

ASUA to mark gender
neutral bathrooms
BY Elizabeth Eaton
The Daily Wildcat
ASUA Sen. Dakota Staren, a
public health sophomore, moved
to establish more gender neutral
bathrooms on campus at the ASUA
Senate meeting Wednesday night.
According to the UA’s Statement
on Restroom Access, “in keeping
with the University’s policy of
nondiscrimination on the basis of
gender identity, the University allows
individuals to use the restroom that
corresponds to their gender identity.”
Currently, the UA has 66 gender
neutral bathrooms on campus, but
they are not marked clearly.
One part of Staren’s platform was
to mark gender neutral bathrooms
on campus maps and get new signs
to make it easier for students to find
gender neutral bathrooms.
Staren proposed purchasing 40
new signs, with each sign costing
$21.95. The signs look different than
typical bathroom signs in that they
feature the female with a skirt and
male without a skirt images, as well as
a figure with half a skirt.
The initiative stemmed
from Staren’s desire to be less
discriminatory and make the UA
campus a more welcoming place.
“This is one way we can become
a more diverse campus and be more
progressive and keep up with other
Pac-12 schools,” Staren said.
Staren also provided statistics,
citing a study in which half of
the roughly 6,000 transgender
participants reported that they
experienced harassment in public
areas, including restaurants and
bathrooms. About 10 percent also
reported being physically attacked.
Currently, the initiative has $500
from the ASUA Government Affairs
and Public Policy department and is
trying to find more funding.
Staren said she believed it was her
duty as part of ASUA to propose and
support this idea.
“As a student government, our
goal is to passionately represent
all students at the UA regardless of
sex,” Staren said. “Our vision is for
every student to feel comfortable on
campus.”
Other senators also expressed
enthusiasm about the initiative.
“I’m so excited for it to be
up around campus,” said Sen.

science sophomore.

Just the Tips w/ Kat
BDSM:
Camming
soon to
your room
BY Kat
The Daily Wildcat
F
uck Facebook, Twitter
and Instagram; there’s a
new sensation sweeping
the Internet nation. Webcam
modeling, known as “camming,” is
exactly what it sounds like. Models
sit in front of a laptop and take
requests — ranging from topics
for discussion to masturbating on
camera — in exchange for money.
The types of models on these sites
also vary — from “college girl who
needs the cash” to “experienced
porn star with some free time.”
I am definitely the former.
I started camming live shows
for my favorite BDSM studio, Kink.
com, at a time when I needed both
money and a sexual release — even
sex columnists have dry spells. At
first, I considered doing traditional
porn, but who has time for 15 credit
hours and a trip to California to get
fucked on camera?
I spent hours combing through
websites. There must be thousands
of them: Recession Girlz,
StreamRay Studios, Eye Candy,
Enticelive — the list goes on and on.
Some are state of the art. Most look
like the “Space Jam” site installed a
chat room function.
Kink.com is one of the better
ones: It gives me a 60 percent
payout for everything I make during
a show, compared to the industry
standard of 25-30 percent. Kink.
com is also all about BDSM, which
makes my camming experience
slightly more intense than most. As
a submissive camgirl, I take orders
from dominants who come online
to watch me, talk to me and pay me
for all kinds of dirty, naughty things.
On a good day, I tie myself up,
spank myself with a belt, play with
a dildo, beg for permission to cum
and put clothespins on myself. All
of this accompanied, of course, by
generous tips and praise from my
viewers.
Models — myself included —
are expected to appear available,
alluring, mysterious, brimming
with personality and, in most cases,
horny. As a sub, I love putting on
shows and pleasing people simply
because it’s kinky and it turns me
on.
I do shows for myself and my
own gratification. Giving my
viewers an erotic experience that
fulfills their needs for an evening
is just an added bonus, and the
money is the cherry on top. Some
people probably play a role or “act
the part” the entire time they’re on
camera, but to me, no job is worth
doing if you’re not having fun doing
it.
Respect is the most important
part of camming and BDSM. I have
a great experience with my job
because I feel respected when I’m
performing: I respect my viewers
with a genuine sexual experience;
they respect me by paying for my
performances and not pushing me
too far.
My regular viewers are users
of all genders who have accounts
with credit cards attached to them
and a good track record with other
models. I have the power to ban
anyone in my chat room at any
time.
Kink.com users have also taken
it upon themselves to patrol the
behavior of anons — anonymous
viewers without credit cards who
essentially freeload off of users.
Anons log on and make absurd
requests or insult models at least
once or twice during a show. One
of my favorite viewers says they are
“amusing at best” and stands up
for me and other models when an
anon becomes too obnoxious.
There are a few stellar cam sites
like mine, but I have seen some
with hundreds of pages of girls
who ooze boredom and have a
viewership of what I assume is
mostly pubescent boys who stole

E-cigs spark etiquette debate
BY Eric Klump
The Daily Wildcat
A
s the old adage goes; “If it
looks like a duck, swims
like a duck and quacks
like a duck, then it probably is a
duck.”
Electronic cigarettes may not
actually be ducks, but they are
quacking.
Despite our perception of
e-cigarettes as a new form of
smoking, they look like cigarettes,
put off a smoke-like substance
and expel an odor that many find
unpleasant.
Why, then, are electronic
cigarette smokers not held to the
same standards of decency as
traditional cigarette smokers?
E-cigarettes are popping up
everywhere. People use them at
home and at work, in the car and
on the bus. They smoke them in
stores and in bars — sometimes
even in class.
At my job, I see e-cigarettes more
and more — often worn around
necks like medals of defiance. I also
have the joy of watching customers
use the devices as they browse
around, leaving a cloud of shitty
piña colada vapor in their wake.
Because of a perceived lack of
danger associated with smoking
e-cigarettes, some rudely use them
without asking others if it’s OK to
do so.
I understand that e-cigarettes
are meant to be healthier than
regular cigarettes. I know that the
vapor isn’t smoke, and I found
no research saying it’s harmful to
people like secondhand smoke is. I
much prefer e-cigarettes to normal
cigarettes.
But e-cigarettes are still very
annoying and distracting. Their
noxious, crappy hookah smell wafts
through a room like nerve gas. Like
other cigarettes, they can cause eye
or allergy irritation, and the smell
can make some nauseous.
For years, cigarette smokers have
been subject to laws restricting
their smoking behavior for reasons
of health and safety. But they are
also bound to a social contract
based on politeness. The decorum
for smokers has long included a
mindfulness for how cigarettes may
offend others.
I don’t necessarily want to see
e-cigarettes banned from UA, or
anywhere; I only hope to see the
same basic etiquette used with
e-cigarettes as with real cigarettes.
E-cigarette smokers must take on
the same responsibilities for their
actions as regular smokers have.
I’m not alone in believing that
the same social codes should apply
to these new, fancy smokers.
I conducted a brief survey of
UA students and found that most
reacted negatively when asked
their opinion of normal cigarettes
while expressing indifference to
e-cigarettes. However, students
did feel that users of e-cigarettes
should hold themselves to the
same rules of etiquette as those
who smoke regular cigarettes.
Liberal arts sophomore Lucero
Amavizca feels that electronic
cigarettes allow users to exploit a
legal loophole.
“Since e-cigarettes are fine to
be smoked indoors, they do skirt
laws,” Amavizca said. “I find it
disrespectful to smoke indoors. I
believe smoking is smoking, and
[e-cigarette smokers] should be
subjected to the same rules [as all
smokers].”
A lack of rules, partly due to how
new e-cigarettes are, has left many
questioning what the etiquette and
policy around e-cigarettes should
be. Some places allow e-cigarettes
while others, such as airlines, ban
them.
New York City and Chicago have
started to instate laws and policies
about when and where e-cigarettes
can be used.
But in many places, users are still
subject to the whims of individual
employees and managers who are
just attempting to fill a policy gap.
A set of simple guidelines can be
used in all of these situations.
If someone is near enough that
you can poke them with a 5-foot
pole, then ask first before smoking.
If they say no, relocate or wait.
If you are surrounded by four
walls and a ceiling, exit before
smoking. If you cannot exit a room
because it does not have doors,
smoke away — you have bigger
things to worry about.
Finally, never, ever blow vapor
directly at someone. This may seem
an obvious point of politeness, but
it happens to me weekly.
Use if you must, but just be
considerate of us who really don’t
want to be around smoke. It’s
like passing gas: We try to wait
until we’re somewhere safe and
secluded, so we don’t offend
others.
Don’t fart in my face.

After the 2010 U.S. Census, the demographic of

Historically, the reason for Oregon’s Wonder Bread
quality has been primarily attributed to the Jekylland-Hyde-ness of the state’s outlawing of slavery in
the Civil War, because the state outlawed slavery, but
still banned blacks from moving to the Beaver State.
…
This is truly upsetting. College is supposed to be a
time and place in which you get to explore the world
and your options in it. It’s a time to discover and
understand the great pluralism of it. It’s when we
should hopefully be forming a healthy appreciation
for the varied places we inhabit. College is supposed
to have the “level playing field” that Sy Stokes of UCLA
talks about in his video.

of preference and superficiality, it cuts itself off at the

…
This year, however, my excitement for finding
out these superlative outcomes began to
diminish. … Often times, I watch movies or listen
to songs simply because they win “Best Picture”
or “Best Album.” Because of this, I’ve lost, or never
gained, the ability to self-discern.
...
It is as if award shows capitalize on the celebrity
of the artists rather than the art itself. Instead
of focusing on an incognito performance a
particular actor or actress gave, the spotlight is
on the star factor of the performer themselves.
Acceptance speeches become the mascot for the
performance rather than letting the work reach
out and speak to the audience itself.

A verbal altercation was broken up by a UAPD officer at the Phi
Gamma Delta fraternity house last Sunday at 1:05 a.m.
A UAPD officer reported hearing a man and a woman arguing
loudly inside the FIJI courtyard. The male student followed the
female student as she walked to the courtyard gate, grabbed her by
the wrist and forcefully spun her around.
The woman walked away a second time and opened the
courtyard gate. The man then reached over the woman’s shoulder
and slammed the gate closed.
The officer reached the gate and said, “Open the gate. You need to
let her out, and I need to speak with you.” The officer then climbed
over the gate.
The man, who was intoxicated, identified himself to the officer
and apologized for fighting with the woman, who he said was his
girlfriend. The officer escorted both students out of the courtyard
to interview them. The man said he and his girlfriend argued, and
when she tried to leave he grabbed her arm because “she didn’t
really want to leave.”
The officer then spoke with the woman, who was also
intoxicated. She said, “He is my boyfriend, and I love him. There
was no violence.”
At this time, a third UA student, also intoxicated, showed up and
began to get verbally aggressive with the officer. The officer told the
student he wasn’t involved in the issue and asked him to leave.
The woman said she wanted to stay at the house. The officer
explained the state domestic violence laws to the students. Dean of
Students referral forms were completed for all three students.

Two UA students were arrested last Sunday at Apache-Santa
Cruz Residence Hall at around 2:34 p.m. on charges of possession
of marijuana and possession of drug paraphernalia.
An off-duty resident assistant was walking around Apache-Santa
Cruz when she smelled marijuana. She found two UA students
smoking in the southeast stairwell of Apache-Santa Cruz and asked
what they were doing. The students replied, “Smoking marijuana.”
An on-duty RA called the University of Arizona Police
Department, which sent an officer to the dorm. The two students
identified themselves to the officer, who noticed the smell of
marijuana coming from both students.
The officer asked, “We all know why we are here, correct? I mean,
the smell of marijuana?” The students nodded. When asked, they
said they lived in Colonia de la Paz Residence Hall.
The officer then said, “Why don’t you guys give me whatever
you have left?” One of the students picked up a blue backpack and
handed it to the officer. Inside was a metal grinder with marijuana
inside. The officer said, “I wonder who this belongs to?” The first
student pointed to the second student and said, “It’s his.” Also inside
the backpack were a water pipe, several plastic baggies and another
small metal grinder with marijuana in it.
Both students released at the scene with criminal citations. Dean
of Students Code of Conduct referral forms were completed for
both students.

percentage is higher in wins, it’s
troubling to see how significant
of a difference Warthen has in
that category. That’s not a good
sign for someone who leads the

Looking forward, Warthen is
putting in more effort than ever
to find the consistency that has

said she can see her effort and
knows how important she is to the

“Candice is a hard worker no

Lopez returns from surgery to
field a new and improved coach
BY ROSE ALY VALENZUELA
The Daily Wildcat
Three months without a head
coach would probably feel weird
for any sports team; it did for the
Arizona baseball team.
When the Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Andy
Lopez had a quadruple bypass
heart surgery in October, it
meant his team would have to be
without him while he recovered.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;It probably sounds corny, but
I probably took [coaching] for
granted in some ways,â&#x20AC;? Lopez
said.
Assistant coaches Shaun Cole
and Matt Siegel were the ones
who had to take care of business
while Lopez was gone.
Returning players felt that
they, too, had to fill some shoes
so that nothing would change
while Lopez was out.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;We wanted everyone to feel
like he was there,â&#x20AC;? sophomore
infielder Kevin Newman said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;When he came back, we wanted
[it] to be the same; we wanted
to be working just as hard and
getting just as good.â&#x20AC;?
Those three months are
gone, and the team finally has
its coach back, just before the
season begins.
Lopez returned to the field on
Jan. 15 when spring individual
workouts began for the players.
The first official practice for
Arizona was on Jan. 24, and
Lopez was finally there with his
entire team.
The returning players already
had an idea and knew what
to expect, but new players,
especially the freshmen, werenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
sure what Lopez had to offer.

Arizona trailed 31-30 at the midway
point, but outscored the Cardinal 3026 in the second half.
The turning point came late in the
second half: With the score tied at 53,
the Wildcatsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; defense pushed Stanford
to take rushed shots and went on a
7-4 run over the final six-and-a-half
minutes to close the door on the
Cardinal.
Since the beginning of conference
play, Arizonaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s shooting guard Nick
Johnson has set the pace for Wildcat
comebacks. Wednesday he came up
with five key defensive rebounds, a
steal and a block as he led the squad in
scoring with 16 points.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;In my opinion, Nick [Johnson] is the
best defender in the country,â&#x20AC;? Arizona
point guard T.J. McConnell said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nick
doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get enough credit for how he
defends people. [Stanfordâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s] Chasson
Randle is one of the best scorers in our
conference, and I think Nick is by far
the best defender in our conference,
so it was a good matchup.â&#x20AC;?
Randle accounted for 12 points, five
rebounds and two assists, but because
of Johnson, Randle was limited in
efficient shooting, making three of his
15 shot attempts from the field.
Johnson
didnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t
just
defend
and score, either. The junior also
contributed on the night with four
assists.
The Wildcats continued to struggle
from the free-throw line. Arizona shot
62.1 percent (18-29) from the stripe.
In their first 20 games this season,
the Wildcats shot with 66.5 percent
accuracy from the free-throw line.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Coming into this game, we knew it
was going to be tough,â&#x20AC;? Johnson said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I knew they had a very good offense.
We know by now that we are going to
get everyoneâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s best shot. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s what
happened tonight.â&#x20AC;?

WOMENâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;S BASKETBALL
Another setback: Merrill
leaves team, goes home
BY ROBERTO PAYNE
The Daily Wildcat
Freshman guard Ashley Merrill
has left the Arizona womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s
basketball team due to personal
reasons,
according
to
UA
spokesperson Susie Epp and head
coach Niya Butts.
Merill has withdrawn from the
university and gone back home to
California to be with her family.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;She is back at home in California,
and we 100 percent wish her
well and fully support her in that
decision,â&#x20AC;? Butts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s about
all the comment I can have on that.â&#x20AC;?
Merrill was in the midst of
her freshman season with the
Wildcats and had been a key
bench contributor for an otherwise
shorthanded unit. She averaged 4.1
points per game and 2.9 rebounds
per game.
The loss of Merrill puts Arizona in
a dangerous spot, with only seven
active players and 10 more regular
season games. As it was, the team
had already lost senior forward Alli
Gloyd and freshman forward Dejza
James to injuries.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s something that, obviously,
you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t foresee that,â&#x20AC;? Butts said.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the nature of whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s happened
with us this year, and we have to
make the most of it.â&#x20AC;?
The loss of players due to leaving
or transferring has become routine
during Buttsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; almost six-year tenure
at Arizona. Before the departure
of Merrill, 21 womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s basketball
players had either transferred away
from or left the UA under Butts.
The program has lost seven
players in the last two years alone.
Among those who have recently left
are center Aley Rohde, guard Erin
Butler, forward Shereen Sutherland
and guard Lynette Holmes.
This was not only unforeseen, it is
also an extra challenge for Butts and
her coaching staff in the middle of a
frustrating 4-15 season. They now
have the task of managing minutes
to ensure players are fresh while
trying to secure their first Pac-12
Conference victory.
Of course, the current players
are preparing for upcoming games
knowing that their minute totals
could very well reach season highs.
Junior guard Candice Warthen said
the loss will have a legitimate effect
on the team, and players have to get
through it.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s going to have a tremendous
impact on our stamina,â&#x20AC;? Warthen
said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re down to seven people
and half of us are already injured.
Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got to be smart about
what we do with our bodies and
make sure we get treatment.
Practice isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t going to be able to be
as impactful as it has been because
we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have enough people.â&#x20AC;?
Arizona practices now consist
mainly of additional practice players
who come in to fill the many gaps
left on the floor due to injuries and
departures. However, the team still
exudes an aura of confidence.
Senior guard Kama Griffitts, who
is second on the team in scoring
at 10.3 points per game, said the
team has to grind out the rest of the
season.
â&#x20AC;&#x153;I think naturally in midseason
youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re going to feel a little bit more
fatigue,â&#x20AC;? Griffitts said. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Weâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;ve just got
to push through it and grind out.â&#x20AC;?
The Wildcats have lost eight games
in a row, though they had a five-game
losing streak earlier in the season.
Last season Arizona also had eightgame and five-game losing streaks.
In 2012-13, the Wildcats went
12-18, in 2011-12 they were 15-17,
in 2009-10 their record was 14-17
and in 2008-09, they went 12-19 in
Buttsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; first season. Under Butts, the
Wildcats have only played in one
post-season national tournament,

the Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s NIT in 2010-11, when

former player of first-year assistant
coach Sean LeBeauf is suing him.

one of the top 10 most common New Year’s resolutions, according to a ne w study.
BY Dara Farhadi
The Daily Wildcat
A
s January comes to an end, so
does many people’s dedication
to following through on their
New Year’s resolutions.
For some, a dance with death
would be enough motivation to quit
an unhealthy habit. A recent study,
however, found some disturbing
results: People with heart disease are
unlikely to change their lifestyle, even
after a health crisis.
The study, led by Dr. Koon Teo,
a professor of cardiology at the
McMaster University in Ontario,
Canada, found that only 4 percent
of the 8,000 worldwide participants
who had a near-death experience,
like a heart attack, quit smoking and
changed their lifestyle to include
regular exercise and a healthy diet.
Deciding to get fit, eat healthy
and quit smoking are among the
top 10 resolutions Americans make
every year, according to a study by
the University of Scranton that was
published earlier this month in the
Journal of Clinical Psychology.
It’s no easy task to accomplish a
resolution. Only 8 percent of people
are successful in achieving their goal,
according to the study.
“Behavior is extremely hard to
change once habits are formed,”
said Thomas Plante, a professor of
psychology at Santa Clara University
and adjunct clinical professor of
psychiatry and behavioral sciences
at Stanford University School of
Medicine. “Even after health scares,
such as a heart attack, people find
altering their diet, exercise, drinking
behavior and so forth is very difficult.”
Undeclared freshman Kaylie
Gomez, however, has stayed faithful to
her resolutions for this year.
“I do it just for the fact that I look
better and feel healthier,” she said as
she took a break from her run around
the UA Mall.
The ability to follow through with
a resolution differs from person to
person, and depends on what is going
on in the person’s life at the time,
said Anne Bowen, a UA psychology
professor.
“If you’ve always loved peanut
butter,” she said by way of example,
“it’s hard to give it up.”
A successful resolution depends on
two elements, according to licensed
psychologist Leslie Becker-Phelps.
The first is to get good advice, and
the second is to think positively.
Becker-Phelps is also the author of
“Making Change,” a blog found on
psychologytoday.com.
“If you are trying to lose weight or
start exercising more, you are more
likely to give up if you are self-critical,”
Becker-Phelps said. “If you are
positive with yourself, compassionate
to your struggle and accepting that
you might make mistakes, it’s more
likely you will be more successful in
the end.”
Plante says that although two-thirds
of people who begin an exercise
program drop it within six months,
there is still hope.
“We can develop good health habits
early in life, like in college, which will
serve you well later,” he said. “Also,
we can structure our environments to
force us into healthy behaviors.”
Bowen said that having a friend to
keep you accountable will help.
“One of the first interventions is to
find a buddy,” she said. “Somebody
to go walking or running with, and
who prevents you from sitting at home
thinking about eating cake.”
Gomez said that she runs with
a close friend who is a more
experienced runner to help keep her
accountable.
“People think there are easier ways
to do it, like taking pills, or that sitting
down and being lazy is easier than
getting up and going,” Gomez said.
“It shouldn’t take a heart attack for
people to realize they should start
working out every day.”

Pick your poison:
Weed or booze?
Obama says marijuana is not more dangerous than
alcohol; Health experts reveal the truth
BY Michaela Kane
The Daily Wildcat
In a recent interview for New Yorker
Magazine, President Barack Obama made what
many believe to be a controversial statement: He
doesn’t think marijuana is more dangerous than
alcohol.
While Obama’s statement reflects the
changing perception of the drug and efforts to
legalize it, the comparison between marijuana
and alcohol does have people wondering just
how each of the two substances affects users’
health.
“When we start using substances, any
substances, before the age of 15, we increase
the risk of having problems later on,” said Lynn
Reyes, a counselor and alcohol and other drug
specialist at Campus Health Service.
Northwestern Medicine researchers in
Chicago recently discovered a correlation
between memory and marijuana use. The study
found that teenagers who regularly smoked
marijuana performed poorly on memory tests.
It was also discovered that using marijuana in
your early 20s can affect brain development,
possibly leading to the shrinking and collapse of
memory-related structures in the brain.
In addition, there have been many studies
investigating the effect alcohol has on the brain.
Excessive drinking can have both short-term
and long-term effects on the brain, according
to the National Institute of Health’s Institute on
Alcohol Abuse and Alcoholism.
When people drink too much too quickly,
they can black out and suffer from memory loss,
which is meant to serve as a warning to slow
down or stop drinking, Reyes said.
“Alcohol is considered in a different category
of substance, in that we see deaths related to
overdose,” Reyes said. “Marijuana doesn’t fall
into the clinical category of addiction. Alcohol
has a clear addiction pathology.”
Long-term effects of alcohol vary. Persistent
drinkers often suffer from liver disease, which
can lead to liver cancer, and they are also more
prone to mouth, throat and esophageal cancer,
according to the Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention.
Although both alcohol and marijuana have a
variety of physical effects on the body, they also
affect the user’s mental state. Alcohol acts as a
